About Photographer

I am a Brooklyn based photographer originally from Sweden. Most of my personal work explores vernacular beauty. My process is intuitive and I am emotionally drawn to scenes that are urban, graphic, colorful, and quiet. Mood and atmosphere are important aspects in much of my work with strong subtexts of time, identity, and memory. Formally, I am interested in the study of color, geometric shapes, and space.
